Obama’s Next Evil Scheme: Banning Fox News

The teabaggers were right. They warned us that President Obama would take away our guns, and we didn’t listen. Now that our guns have been taken away, Obama is getting ready to proceed to Step Two: Banning Fox News.Sean Hannity was the first one to break this story. On his TV show the other day, he gave this dire warning:“In other words, forget about that little thing called freedom of speech, differing views. Instead, he wants any, all opposing voices to be, what, silenced? That includes the opinions that you hear on this program and watch every single night…Fox News is the only media organization on this planet that has delivered fair and balanced coverage of this administration…Sorry Mr. President. We’re gonna continue on this program to do our part to save America from your radical agenda. Sorry. I’m not saying the president’s a dictator. But wouldn’t that be what we have?”[swoon] Such courage. Speaking Truth to Power. That poor poooor Sean Hannity. What will happen to him when Obama’s thugs come and take him away? The rumor is, they’re planning to use the Chinese Water Torture on him, but first they have to find his forehead.On this same program, Sean Hannity’s guest was Fox contributor Peter Johnson, Jr., who amplified Hannity’s frightening scenario:“The president won the election, but he didn’t win America. Now the president is saying, ‘Listen, do it the way I do it or I’m gonna come down your pipe.’ ‘Do it the way MSNBC does it, do it the way a poodle journalist, do it the way a faux journalist, whose only mission in life is to suck up to the president of the United States, who get their talking points from the White House.’ So, to say, ‘Oh, you know what’s happened here is that we have an institutional barrier, according to the president, that stops the will of the people.’ Sean, you know what the institutional barrier is? The United States Constitution. And so, people at home should be afraid because, they say, ‘Am I not allowed to watch Fox anymore? Am I not allowed to listen to Rush or Sean? Am I doing something that’s un-American?’ You’re not.”OK, we’ve been warned. You’d better watch as much Fox News as you possibly can, while you still can.

On a related note, I happened to hear a little bit of the Glenn Beck radio show today. He was giving out tips on how gun fanatics can avoid getting into trouble with the law. I'm curious, at what point do these wingnut entertainers get into legal trouble?

As a good commie-facist-anarchist, I am emailing the White House and demanding that they hire new stormgoons to take care of these two swinehunds. How did they let them slip through the net? I mean, WTF? They should have been rounded up and put in re-education camps by now! They just don't make dictators like they used to.

the Texas GOP in the summer of 2012 added as a party plank a ban on the teaching of Critical Thinking...

"Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority."

now, I am not the most atute thinker that ever walked the planet, but I always listened to my Dad and, golly, he as always telling me.."Don't be Stupid." Mostly when I wanted to borrow his car, or askked him for a few bucks, but I did take that to heart. The Gop would really like us to be stupid....and the number of times that Newt Gingrich appears on Fox News shows proves it. Gees&Stuff, huh!

No doubt they want America to be stupid. Why else would they attack education, attack science, defund things like libraries, promote religion as the uber-alles as much as they do, and try so hard (with things like FOX "News") to do our thinking for us? What a bunch of pathetic control freaks.
